Last Days in Provence

10-21-2007.

Friday: Headed to a little town nearby called Isle sur la Sorgue, the 'Venice' of Provence. Well, not quite, but the canals were nice and the town was really cute. The afternoon was lazy, then we headed to Rousillon for an evening stroll and dinner. Rousillon is known for the red ocre rock that they quary nearby and color their houses with. After a simple meal of pasta, we headed to the only bar in town to watch France play for the rugby Bronze; fun scene with lots of boisterous locals!





Saturday: Since the skies were perfectly clear, we decided to head back up to Mont Ventoux again. We had a semi-elaborate plan: Jeff would ride up the side he didn't last Monday, and Mel would drive over the other side to begin a hike all the way to the top. Once up, Jeff descended to the car and took it back to the top where we met for a coffee. Got the views we were looking for! Then Jeff bombed down to the bottom on bike, of course.





Afterwards, we toured a few small villages in the area, stopping for food for a light dinner. One the way back we came through the most amazing gorge that was right around the corner the whole time we were here.






We're a little sad to be moving on, since Provence seemed to suit us so well - awesome food and perfect October weather. But we still have a week left, so on to the Pyrenees and Barcelona!
